Living a Miracle
What an end I've had to my week. This (not unlike the rest of the year) is a super busy time of year for us at the American Cancer Society as we work to tie up all the amazing work of our awesome Relay For Life volunteers and begin planning for 2014! Its also...
How did you come to be
So last night at dinner with some new friends one of the guys at the table asked me what my back ground or training was to be an event planner. 1. Being an event planner is my dream job so the fact that he saw what I do as a dream was a huge...
Worry wart
It's official. I am more than a self proclaimed worry wart. I'm a biologically, generationally cursed, self-prescribed based on lifestyle choice, fully engulfed worrier. It's not healthy. I get that. It's a curse straight from the garden. It's wrath placed on...

5 years ago

a year ago – April 4
Looks like on this day in 2008, I was traveling for work (go figure!) But, I was encouraged to remember how we didn't let this stop us. I was still working, spending time with my college roommates and had no idea what the journey ahead would bring. A church...
